A feature length screenplay - a gritty drama is inspired by the likes of Fishtank, Broken, and The Selfish Giant. Think Eat Pray Love meets This is England, if you can! It's about a troubled young woman who runs away to the Himalayan regions in India to escape her difficult family life. The story follows her and her mother through the various challenges of addiction and mental health problems.

I was very grateful to be accepted through the WoMentoring project - I was mentored by the lovely Abigail Chandler.

I decided to write the screenplay into a novel for NaNoWriMo 2015. You can read about my experience here.

I am currently still editing both the novel and the screenplay and hope to find agent representation when finished.

Novel - 'Occasus'

Several years ago, I wrote my first novel, Occasus. It's a post-apocalyptic drama about humans coming to terms with living on another planet, the existence of other beings and exploring their place within the vast muddle of unknown that is our universe. I've learnt a lot about writing since then so I doubt this is my best work but one day I'll go back and re-write it!

The Wickepin HotelA backpacker learns about racism the hard way whilst working for a pub in outback Western Australia. This is based on a real place I went to but the events and characters are fictitious and not a representation of all small town Australian's, or Wickepin. Also, the artwork was certainly not my choice! Published by Freedom Fiction.

Zombies on a BoatSatire/parody about a writing student rebelling against her teacher by breaking all the fundamental writing rules.

Zombies on a Boat was performed at Talking Tales - a storytelling night in Bristol:

I then wrote a follow-up, a mock film review based on if Zombies on a Boat was made into a film. I performed it at the second Talking Tales event - podcasts from both evenings are also on our Podomatic page.

I write about feminism, gender equality and body positivity on the 'Feminist Ramblings' page.

I used to write a monthly column about body image for a feminist blog called Zusterschap. 'How PE ruined exercise for me' was one of the most popular posts, which you can read here on the archive site (unfortunately Zusterschap shut down and had to move this free site instead).

Radio/TV appearances

Not nearly as impressive as it sounds. I was once on BBC Radio Bristol reading a satirical story about aliens trying to learn how to look like a 'normal' human. The recording is no longer on iPlayer, but you can read the story here.

In May 2017 I was on BBC2 with Victoria Derbyshire, and Radio 5 Live with Nicky Campbell, discussing the Netflix show '13 Reasons Why'. You can read the blog post which led to them HERE.
